Former world champion Ken Doherty, who expressed his concern for Alex's
health after a recent phone call in which Higgins "could hardly speak," attributed
his own entry into the sport to the Hurricane, someone who "has given pleasure
to millions."

In recent years, Higgins has slipped down the rankings and was seen by many as
a sad reflection of the player who was better than the rest in the 70s and much of
the 80s but whose matchless talents were never reflected in a host of major titles.

Ken Doherty, who was originally beaten 9-3 by
Ronnie in the final, has now been awarded the winner's cheque and the trophy. Doherty's runner-up
prize of £27,712 will probably be returned to the sponsor.
